Well, if congress hadn't shut off the money, maybe the south wouldn't have fallen. As it was, the southern artillerymen didn't have shells for their cannons, and the tanks and aircraft were just about out of fuel...so it was just a matter of time anyways until the south fell.

In the meantime, whether it was a bad conscience or some sort of fear, the US allowed refugees into the free world as they evacuated Saigon in 1975. Probably their way of saying, "well, we didn't give ya the shells for yore guns, and the enemy was at your gates! So we'll send some planes and ships to ya...and help you evacuate...you can live here...or there...or...?"
